Read this Installation and Owners Guide carefully and completely before attempting to install, operate or
service this heater. Improper use of this heater can result in serious bodily injury or death due to hazards
of fire, explosion, electrical shock or carbon monoxide poisoning. When used without fresh air, this heater
may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poisonous gas. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH! Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flue with headache, dizziness
and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once,
and have the heater serviced. Some people such as pregnant women, persons with heart or lung
disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at higher altitudes are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. Retain this manual for future reference. It is your guide to many years of a
proper and safer operation of the heater.
